Sustainable Tourism Starts With Design:

Designing UniVini App was a journey of celebrating Vietnam’s heritage and empowering local tour guides. I learned the value of embedding cultural authenticity into every detail—making the app not just a tool but a platform to showcase Vietnam's beauty and stories.

Through research and collaboration with local guides, I crafted intuitive features like adventure trails and language exchanges to bridge cultures and create opportunities. Prototyping and user feedback ensured every design decision aligned with the vision of connecting travelers and locals while promoting sustainable tourism.

This project taught me that impactful design goes beyond functionality—it builds bridges and empowers communities.
